Never far away from a school
About 30 miles southwest of Chicago is the suburb of Woodridge, where an active park district means that those living in the West 83rd Street neighborhood are always close to an outdoor recreation opportunity. “There are also multiple schools in the neighborhood,” says Melissa Nowak, a real estate agent and managing broker at Ridge Realty and Associates with about 20 years of experience. “The schools are all part of the Woodridge district - they’re all smaller, and a house in this neighborhood is close to one of them.” And, as one of the things that attracts people to this area, they’re all highly rated.
West 83d is located in the western suburbs of Chicago.

Evolution of the homes
The housing in this neighborhood was developed north to south, starting near 75th Street, and mainly ranch-style or Minimal Traditional, with just over 1,000 square feet of space. The prices are between $280,000 and $350,000. Further south, the square footage got larger, with prices between $375,000 and $450,000, and styles include raised ranch and split-levels from the 1960s and ‘70s. The homes south of 83rd Street are part of the Mending Wall subdivision. “The oldest homes are from the late 1970s, but they were built ahead of their time as the developer made them energy efficient with windows allowing natural light to stream in,” Nowak says. The houses are closer to $500,000, with almost 2,500 square feet of living space. “Overall, you get more bang for your buck in this neighborhood compared to surrounding areas,” she adds.

Parks and trees
The village of Woodridge has an active park district, and that’s evident in the number of opportunities to play outdoors. Janes Avenue Park is laid out linearly with basketball courts, a skatepark, a roller hockey space, a playground and a baseball diamond with bleachers. Down the street on Janes Avenue is the Cypress Cove Family Aquatic Park, open Memorial Day through Labor Day. It’s more than just a large swimming area - a lazy river and three water slides can also be enjoyed. Echo Point Park encompasses over 6 acres and has a sand volleyball court, biking and walking trails, playground and picnic shelters. Many trees shade the amenities in this particular park. That’s a familiar sight here because the National Arbor Day Foundation has awarded the village of Woodridge a Tree City U.S.A. designation for the number of trees planted. The Woodridge Park District has over 21 miles of off-road bike paths, including a path alongside Woodridge Drive.
